Mark, I have set the api version to 14 and also set targetSdk to 14 in the manifest, using Holo theme. On a "normal" size ICS device I get an Action bar without menu, I do get a navigation bar but there is no access to menu there. Looks like it must still be expecting a hardware menu on such a device?
